Story
Matteo Amante. Dangerous. Deadly. And most of all, devastating. He’s the king of the city. Running the Mafia and ruling the East Coast. He’s at war with his cousin, and I am the casualty. There is nothing Matteo won’t do to win. He’ll burn everything down to the ground, my hopes and dreams included. He’s no hero. He’s the handsome devil who will probably kill me in the end. Falling in love with the enemy can destroy me, especially when he is my husband.

Story
One night. No names. No commitment. That was our agreement. But Spencer Lancaster was addictive. And I was high. High off his taste, starved for his kiss, and desperate for his touch. So when he asked me to stay, to enjoy his company for more nights than I knew I should, I wasn't in the right mind to say no. Everything was perfect. A dream come true. But half a world away, there were secrets. Lies. Insecurities. All of the truths that could tear us apart.

The one unbreakable rule in the Man Code is this: No matter how beautiful, smart, and clever she is, do not fall in love with your best friend’s woman. Yeah, so I screwed up big time when I fell for her. I might have let my sin of unrequited love slide, given everything that went down in the last few years, but Lulu just walked back into my life as vibrant as ever. And the cards are stacked against me once again. We’re working together, and the last thing I want to do is mess up her life with a forbidden office romance now that she’s finally got the fresh start she deserves.

These were dark, angry, and full of demons. And they belonged to Reed’s much-older brother. Four years later, Nash Prescott is no longer the help’s angry son. I’m no longer the town’s prized princess. At 22, I’m broke, in need of a job. At 32, he’s a billionaire, in need of revenge.

Donovan and I met at a coffee shop to do the suitcase exchange. Turned out, it wasn’t just his voice that was sexy. The man holding my luggage was absolutely gorgeous, and we had an immediate spark. He got me to admit that I’d snooped in his bag and then convinced me to make it up to him by letting him buy me coffee. Coffee led to dinner, dinner led to dessert, and dessert led to spending an entire weekend together. So what did I do to repay him for his kindness? I waited until he was in the shower, then ghosted him.

Story
We met in a trapped elevator. Emmett was on his way to work, sophisticated and handsome in his tailored suit and tie. I was on my way to the sperm bank. Awkward, right? At 35, my life hadn't taken the path I thought it would and I was tired of waiting - I wanted a baby. And I was ready to take matters into my own hands to make it happen. After our ill-fated elevator encounter, Emmett insisted on taking me to dinner - he also insisted on something else - that I ditch my plan involving a turkey baster and let him do the job. He would be my baby daddy.

Not my type of story, read the review
I should have read the review.
The last book I listend was 365 days. I was searching for something similar. When i read the resume I taugh this will be it, didnt expected that half of the story will be on a deserted island eating coconut.. That didnt strike me when I taugh this was a mafia world.
If you like love story where the man is a badboy but slowly turn into the good guy. With a strong but fragile indice heroine, this book is for you.
Personnaly it lack sexually tension a lot and im not a fan of this kind of love story. I find boring the part on the island wich is like half the book. I gave 4 star for performance because of the perfect voice of Sebastian Work, the girl voice anoyed me when she do male voice.
Two star for the story because there is worst book, who I Will not finished and I finished this one, but clearly not my type.

It reminded me of the blue lagoon....it has really hot parts and I really enjoyed the back and forth between the two protagonists and of course some what unexpected twist. In all I really enjoy this book. It had a good pace so even if it was a 10h books it flowed really well without being in a hurry. looking forward to listen more books from Ava Harrison. the narration like always was superb from 2 of my favorite narrators. I do recommend this book.

It almost lost me and then I was ALL IN
I enjoy Ava Harrison’s writing a lot. She just has this way with words that just works for me. Then there are times when I need the audio and I’m all about it. This was one of those times.
Let me get a few things out of the way.
- This has an age gap and it was honestly not needed at all to me. Neither character felt a certain age, if that makes sense.
- There was a bit of violence. Kind of mafia style. It didn’t bother me, but for some reason I didn’t expect it.
- Romancelandia’s misuse of birth control strikes again. This is just a personal thing. I hate it, but it didn’t affect the story like I thought it would.
- You might hate hearing about doves after this.
Now I went into this a little blind, so when I got into the book, I really enjoyed the banter of the island. This is where I thought Phoenix, rose. Close proximity is my weakness. Who knew?! I loved it. I think the growth of Alaric and Phoenix was great.
There was a point though that I almost gave up. Then suddenly the book took something I disliked and the suspense turned way up. It was amazing. My book friends’ heads might have turned 360° with my texts reading this book.
I did a read and listen. Sebastian York’s narration was good, but I really thought Ava Erickson did a stellar job as Phoenix. She really became the character in my head. Adored it!

Honestly i though it was going to be so much better, the heroin ended up been weak and it got boring very quickly, had a hard time getting back into the plot. It had the potential to be a pretty good book but it just ended up being meh

Speechless
Ava has once again left me speechless with this incredibly captivating read. You know it’s going be a good book when you don’t care that you have work tomorrow and you’re going on only four hours of sleep because you need to know the ending. You were going to fall in love with Alaric Prince. This is a five star, roller coaster, enemy-to-lovers book. Loved the narration by Sebastian York & Ava Erickson. They really helped bring the book to life.

Loved this listen
Talk about the most perfect voices to bring these characters to life. Ava had the perfect soft soothing voice for the character who has been sheltered from the business of her father. Sebastian brings the perfect brooding alpha with the dark broken side The story line itself was phenomenal and I was listening to this read with any time I could. I loved the premise of the daughter trying to help Her father and then oops swooning for the “bad guy”. This story had a great premise being stranded, growing towards each other and with each other, and then a little twist and turn to keep you on your toes. I loved this listen and now want to sit down and read the book and escape again.

Phoenix/Dove and Alaric
OMG - Sebastian York and Ava Erickson were great choices for narrators. Sebastian was a perfect Alaric and Ava was a perfect young-sounding Phoenix. This was a bit of an age gap. Phoenix tries to get information from him to save her father, who Alaric thinks killed his brother. She ends up on his yacht and is in over her head. The yacht is boarded by pirates and they escape to an island. They get really close in a cave on the island when there is a terrible storm and they end up slowly falling in love. But things are not so simple for them. There is a very sad scene near the end and a surprise villain. This book was so good! It was well worth the listen.

Tarnished Empire
Alaric & Phoenix
No one does alpha antiheroes like Ava so I was excited to find out this was a mafia story which I also love.
I loved Phoenix, she is strong and strong willed (stubborn) yet we also see her vulnerable side.
Alaric is strong and protective and a total Alpha male, as he should be due to his background. *swoon*
Both characters were good at hiding things about themselves that once revealed just made everything fall into place.
I loved the narrators that were chosen, they are some of my favorites!

Sebastian York as always is great. The voice of the female character was confusing with no punctuation usage. Didn’t finish listening
